Which? Shorts podcast: why you need a plan for your 'digital death'

We explain the steps you need to take to ensure your family can access your online accounts once you're gone

In this week's Which? Shorts podcast, we explain the steps you need to take to ensure your family can access your online accounts once you're gone.

New research from Which? shows that over three-quarters of Which? members have no plan for what to do with their digital assets after they have died. Just one in five had left directions on how to access their accounts for friends and family and only three per cent had included provisions in their will. So what should you do now to make things easier for the future?

Listen here to the full episode, written and read by Andy Laughlin.

We bring you new episodes of the Which? Shorts podcast each Wednesday, all hosted by our team of journalists.
